El Clasico: Barcelona predicted line up for Real Madrid clash as Lionel Messi looks to edge side nearer to La Liga title

CM: Javier Mascherano

Will have to do much better than he did on Wednesday, despite a decent game against City he gave away a needles penalty in the last ten minutes that had the potential to haunt the Catalan club.

LM: Ivan Rakitic

Was decisive in the Champions League on Wednesday and looks to have grown into his role at Barca after a lacklustre few games after signing in the summer.
